I have gotten through with all my spring sewing, & notwithstanding the stringency of the times, the children by carefulness & economy, have a good supply of very decent summer clothing__ servants also. I am a trifle short of dresses myself__ but think I can get along. I have nothing left now of my supply of ribbons, trimmings etc. not even ribbon to make a knot to fasten a collar__ but then I can look neat without such things, & dont mind the lack of them.__ The Col. has promised to take charge of the children__ hearing them two lessons per day in spelling & reading, beside their speeches. I am anxious to see if he will fulfill his promise with any sort of system or regularity. If he will, it will take just that much labor__ sedentary labor off me__ which time I can devote to my writing. Oh! I long to get at it once more! To feel that I am doing something that may hereafter tell, & perhaps, if well managed, pay. If I could have dear Auntie to stay with me, I think I could accomplish something worth while, and also regain my health.
Wednesday morning 25th May__
Cool and damp. The Col. & Puss started down to McM. this morning__ he would have gone yesterday but we had heavy showers thro the day & once considerable hail with thunder & lightning.__ I saw no one from the other house yesterday__ on Monday evening I was over. A constraint seemed to be upon all, which I did not understand until just as I was coming away Mrs. A. told me she was in much trouble, but could not tell me the cause just then, except that C_ & R_ had been telling tales to Mr. A. I do not understand it at all, and will not until she informs me. I feel very much for her & was extremely sad yesterday__ and am so still. I feel depressed & apprehensive of evil__ I scarce know why. Mrs. A. asked me to pray for her__ I have done so, most fervently,__ she has so much to bear. Oh! I would that my petition could do her some good. I am glad she has Mrs. Scott with her;__ she understands, & is a true friend.
